Market Analysis
U.S. equities rebounded on Friday as international oil prices retreated, with all three major indexes rising close to 1% and ending a four-session losing streak. The Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 0.98% to 52,573.29, the S&P 500 rose 0.86% to 7,656.98, and the Nasdaq Composite advanced 0.96% to 26,333.04.
October WTI crude settled 2.37% lower at $100.05 a barrel, while November Brent declined 2.81% to $104.61. Oil nevertheless finished the week sharply higher: WTI gained close to 10% and Brent rose 8.6%, reinforcing inflation concerns and weighing on equities over the full week.
For the week, the Dow fell 1.57%, the S&P 500 lost 0.58%, and the Nasdaq declined 0.66% despite Friday’s recovery.
Before the opening bell, U.S. August CPI held at 3.4% year over year, while core CPI eased to 2.4% from 2.5%; both readings matched expectations. Higher fuel prices helped keep headline inflation elevated.
Elevated inflation still leaves the Federal Reserve under pressure to tighten. CME FedWatch put the probability of a 25-basis-point hike at next week’s meeting at 86.5%. Lombard Odier Investment Managers’ Florian Ielpo said the report was neither the inflation shock markets feared nor a result that resolves the U.S. inflation problem.
eToro analyst Bret Kenwell said that a resilient labor market and firmer month-over-month core inflation make it more difficult for the Fed to avoid a hike. He added that the more consequential question is what follows: if the move is framed as insurance against renewed inflation rather than the start of a prolonged hiking cycle, markets may see it as a “dovish hike,” limiting further upward pressure on long-dated Treasury yields.
The next Federal Reserve meeting is now the central macro catalyst for rates, equities and the dollar.
Key Takeaway: Friday’s risk rebound reflects relief from lower oil prices and an in-line CPI report, not a clean resolution of inflation risk. With markets pricing a high probability of a Fed hike, the policy message after next week’s decision will be more important than the move itself for the path of yields and risk assets.

UBS remains constructive on global equities, arguing that resilient growth, robust earnings and continued AI investment can help offset higher yields. It still flags inflation, oil, geopolitical shocks and potential Fed tightening as near-term risks.

BlackRock favors U.S. equities tactically on AI-driven earnings and a favorable macro backdrop, while maintaining neutral regional views elsewhere. It emphasizes selectivity as higher yields, inflation, oil, debt issuance and geopolitical shocks increase dispersion and spillover risk.
